Chapter 56: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Li Canghai's expression was as usual, he stared at Huangfu Kun, and suddenly let out a cold shout: "This is the public court, not the barracks!" The state has national laws, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty are respected here, please respect yourself! ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all looked at Li Canghai with a strange look.

In this Luoyang City, except for the prince, who dared to be so rude to him, everyone suddenly felt that Li Canghai was going to be unlucky.

But Li Canghai was not afraid at all, he looked at Huang Fukun's almost burning eyes, and said coldly: "General, I handled the case according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and the general was just listening, if you act like this, I'm afraid you have already transgressed!" ”

These remarks can be light or heavy, and they are usurping their powers, and at worst, they are suspected of exceeding their duties. At worst, it can be equated with rebellion.

Although Huangfukun is reckless, he is not stupid.

Li Canghai believes that this sentence is absolutely enough to deter him. After all, it is impossible for a fool to become the commander of an army.

Huang Fukun's face suddenly fell, he glared at Li Canghai fiercely, and then sat back in his chair angrily.

"Miss Hongyan, you killed Huangfu only to seek justice, but what kind of grudge do you have against the gopher men and the servants, so that you want to kill them too?" This episode did not interfere with Li Canghai's thoughts, and after he sorted it out a little, he asked in a deep voice.

"I have no grudge against them, and the reason why they died was all because of chance." Hong Yan's eyes flowed, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said with a smile.

Li Canghai didn't understand how she could be so indifferent, as if she was telling something that was too commonplace.

"My plan has always been perfect, and I'm curious, what's going wrong?" Hong Yan Xingxing looked forward to it and asked faintly.

"The perfection you speak of is nothing more than using the strange cause of death of the corpse to make people think that it is a ghost. It's a pity that I don't believe in ghosts and gods. Li Canghai glanced at her lightly, and after a slight pause, he added: "There is never a perfect crime in the world. ”

"That's my flaw?" Hongyan was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, and she seemed to want to know what she had made a mistake.

From beginning to end, Li Canghai didn't seem to doubt her. She wondered how Li Canghai suddenly knew her purpose.

"You're wrong, you shouldn't have let me drink poisoned tea." Li Canghai's eyes were solemn, and he recalled the events of last night in his mind.

In the middle of the night, Huiguang hurried over and said him something very important, which made him more sure of his judgment.

The news sent by Huiguang was about the drug when he was in a coma, and Huiguang had always thought it was a 'phantom flower' poison.

It wasn't until yesterday, when Huiguang consulted the ancient books, that he knew that it was not the 'Phantom Flower' poison, but the powdered poisonous tea of the 'Melting Fire Gu Worm'.

Combined with the causes of death of the three deceased, Li Canghai thought at that time that he would suddenly fall into a coma, and even almost die with a whimper, there must be a reason.

He first drank the poisonous wine containing the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm', and then drank the poisonous tea with the powder of the 'Melting Fire Gu Worm' in the Cuihong Mansion, although it was not immediately fatal, but it could cause confusion in his thoughts.

Later, after surviving by luck, Li Canghai heard Di Qing say that when the two black-clothed men who snatched the holy decree were women, he suspected Hongyan.

In order to verify this judgment, he went to the 'Cuihong Mansion' yesterday, and while he was changing clothes, he deliberately put the cloth bag with the holy decree on the table.

Sure enough, Hong Yan finally turned over the cloth bag.

So, when he heard that she was leaving Luoyang, Li Canghai sent someone to follow her, and as soon as she was ready to leave, he asked someone to take her to the yamen.

Li Canghai never revealed half a sentence to anyone from beginning to end, and even Di Qing was kept in the dark.

Hong Yan felt that she had done it seamlessly, how could she have thought that Li Canghai had already doubted her.

"You snatched the Martial Emperor's holy decree and did everything possible to deceive the picture scroll, what do you want to do?" Li Canghai stared at her with a solemn expression and asked in a deep voice.

"The little woman is just a snitch, these two things are so valuable, the little woman naturally wants to get them." Hong Yan smiled and giggled absently.

Above the main hall, Yang Su looked at Hong Yan blankly, and he asked a little bitterly, "Hong Yan...... Is all this true? ”

Hong Yan avoided Yang Su's gaze, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, and she nodded silently.

"I'm afraid that even you won't believe it, right?" Li Canghai sneered.

Hong Yan didn't look at Yang Su, but looked at Li Canghai with resentful eyes, and said faintly: "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, I knew that this was the case, and I should have poisoned you directly in the first place." ”

Li Canghai shook his head, did not refute, but let out a sigh: "It's a pity that Yang Su has a deep affection for you." ”

Hong Yan was suddenly stunned, the smile on her face instantly froze, she bit her lip, looked at Yang Su and said, "I'm just a dusty woman, not worthy of Yang Gongzi's deep love." Childe's kindness, Hongyan can only repay it in the next life. ”

Yang Su laughed miserably, he stared at Hongyan, and said, "I don't want you to repay, I just want to know if you have been using me?" ”

Hong Yan was silent, and after a moment, she said, "If there is an afterlife, I will tell you." ”

"Now that the truth is revealed, what about the people, take down the murderer and me!" Liang Xiu raised his eyebrows and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Wait!"

Li Canghai and Yang Lao shouted at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, and a look of surprise appeared in their eyes at the same time.

"Elder Yang, what else do you command?" Liang Xiu turned around and asked respectfully.

Yang Lao's eyes narrowed slightly, although he was old, the light in his eyes was not dim at all.

He looked up at Hongyan and said, "Girl, return the scroll to the old man, how about the old man let you leave?" ”

When Li Canghai heard this, he was taken aback.

Liang Xiu was also stunned, thinking that Yang Lao was really old and confused, and he would let the murderer leave for the sake of a painting.

Li Canghai's eyes gurgled, and his heart suddenly understood.

He believed that the painting was absolutely secret.

Otherwise, Yang Lao would not have made such a promise to Hongyan in front of everyone.

"Hong Yan wants to get the picture scroll in every possible way, could it be that this picture scroll is the same as the Martial Emperor's holy decree, and it is a treasure map?"

Thinking of the secrets of the three holy decrees, this idea suddenly popped up in Li Canghai's heart.

If you want to know the truth, unless you see the picture scroll with your own eyes, you can only ask Yang Lao.

Looking up at Yang Lao, Li Canghai suddenly shook his head secretly, according to this old man's unruly temperament, even if he said that he would break the sky, I am afraid he would not tell himself.

"I've ruined the scroll." Hong Yan's beautiful eyes were longing, she looked at her hand, and said with a smile: "I want to leave, just these servants are also delusional to stop me?" ”

"Hmph, of course they can't stop you. However, Huang Fukun glanced at her lightly, threw the cup in his hand to the ground, and he shouted violently: "Do it!" ”

The people standing beside Hongyan suddenly lifted their hems, pulled out the bright steel knife, and almost at the same time, put the steel knife on Hongyan's shoulder.
